Grant for Nile Film
The CBA DFID funding is aimed at journalists and filmmakers develop projects and programming
http://www.cba.org.uk/CBA-DFID/index.php
The funding means that I have been able to do further research and development work on the film project and also fund a trip to Uganda for several days shooting. We'll also be shooting several key interviews in the UK and to day I am in Aberystwyth in Wales to interview Dr Henry Lamb about his current project work on Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
We plan to post regular updates on this blog about the film project and the forth coming trips.
More later!

RapidWeaver Themes
Searching for a great new look for your website? Then what about trying out one of my new themes for Mac web design software RapidWeaver.
Ice Cream is a fresh new theme, on the market just in time for the long hot summer and Boxes is specially designed for displaying photography on the web.
Both themes are now available at my new Web Store and you can grab yourself a super deal as I am offering a bundle deal - two new themes for the price of one and a bit! Nice one!

New departures - Web Design
As some of you may know, I’ve been messing about with web sites for an awfully long time now and at the last count I had redesigned my own focusphots.com site no less that 5 times in the past 5 years. So for better or worse here we go with Focusphotos v6.0!
The new design has been made possible by my switch to using Rapidweaver from Realmac Software. Now don’t get me wrong some of the other software I have used in the past is very good, programmes like Freeway from Softpress are excellent design tools and are better for some projects. But Rapidweaver is a delight and much more flexible than it seems when your first open the tin. It has allowed me to have my own blog for a start - which depending on how you look at things may or may not be a good thing!
In these trouble times, adding strings to your bow is what it is all about. I’ve already started to offer courses and begun shooting weddings and the upshot of my acquisition of Rapidweaver is that I am now able to offer my own web design service. The sites I produce are all fairly simple, highly geared around photography and what is more I can bang them out quickly and inexpensively. The average website can take weeks to build using other authoring tools, but I can turn projects round fast - depending on the levels of complexity of course ad on the quality of the clients content! I am also now able to offer web hosting on my own dedicated, secure servers so frankly its all pretty whiz bang!
If you are interested in a new website, give me a call.
